    No. The claim is total bull crap, I'm not holding my breath.

    The claim is that Tucker Carlson's legal team make this claim to the court: “No reasonable person would believe him."

    And it's yet another Disinformation Lie by part of the Left. And you wonder why everyone is catching on that too much of the Left runs one Disinformation campaign after another, on the American People, and always the lies are in alignment with the political goals of the DNC?

    Well perhaps I misspoke but truth is that committee abided by the Restrictions given them to maintain secrecy in relation to Capitol security. This is the main concern that information about security I.e, hidden rooms and bunkers will reach the hands of someone like ISIS or Russia or……

    Your denial is and it does not negate reality.

    Actually, you didn't. You put the following quotes, "No reasonable person would believe him." Claimed that was his lawyer's argument, and linked to NPR, but that quote is not in their article.

    Or perhaps their main concern is that the video will reveal that their claims about what happened are selective and misleading, and will show that many of those charged were waived in by the Capitol Police and engaged in no misbehavior at all.

    One assumes that some other member of congress could release them to whomever they wish. I doubt McCarthy is the only person with access to it.

    I've never heard of a politician giving a partisan political pundit government material to review... image if this was Biden and Rachel Maddow

    But they didn’t and haven’t and that suggests eith McCarthy acted outside his scope OR he is the only one with access or both

    Biden should provide the same thing to Maddow if that makes things more equal. I couldn't care less. Fox is not a government. Carlson is definitely a pundit.

    Personally I'd be good with neither political party handing government property to political pundits to decipher for the public. If its relevant and nessary release it directly to the public

    How on earth can you claim this without having seen all of the video? Don't you think the public will decide this for themselves?

    The poster above said nothing new will come out of it. I asked how can he be sure. Want to try again, answering that question posed to him?

    It's so reassuring knowing that Marge is on the Committee of Homeland Security.
    :roflol:
    Both McCarthy and Greene are dangerous,power hungry, ****ing morons.


    'MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE ADMITS KEVIN MCCARTHY SHOULD HAVE CONSIDERED NATIONAL SECURITY BEFORE HARMING IT'


    Snips:
    "Sources said McCarthy assured his leadership team that he wants to move swiftly, but said they need to be deliberate about how they handle it to ensure the release does not endanger their security.:roflol:


    Remarkably, it was Marjorie Taylor Greene who had to voice, on the record, the potential danger of showing where the secure back hallways of the Capitol were.

    "[Marge] told CNN she played a role in McCarthy’s decision to turn the footage over to Carlson, but she wouldn’t go into further detail."

    "Greene, who was not in the Monday night meeting, said she’s spoken with McCarthy, and that the speaker’s office is coordinating a process for how to release the footage more widely, beyond Fox News, while also ensuring it doesn’t violate any security concerns."

    "We can’t give away our national security,” Greene said, “Everyone in Congress agrees. And I think the American people agree. We don’t want Russia or China or any of these other countries being able to study all the entries and exits of our capital. That’s foolish.”:roflol:

    "Greene told CNN that Carlson’s team was also given certain parameters for what they could and couldn’t air. “Yes … of course (there were parameters) they’re being extremely careful and responsible.”:roflol:
